MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - State Rep. Gerald Allen of Cottondale has decided to seek the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic state Sen. Phil Poole of Tuscaloosa in next year's legislative elections.
Allen announced his candidacy for the Senate District 21 position Tuesday in Tuscaloosa.
The four-term representative said he believes he can be part of a movement in which Republicans take over control of the Alabama Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction.
